PAN-A-CE-A gives chicks good appetite 
and good digestion—helps them develop 
rapidly—gives them vigor to resist disease. 
PAN-A-CE-A prevents fermentation of 
the food; fermentation is where most of the 
bowel troubles start. 
PAN-A-CE-A is a gentle tonic to all the 
little-chick organs — keeps the system in 
order. 
PAN-A-CE-A contains the Salts of Iron, 
so essential to early chick life, and during 
the rapid growth of feathers. 
PAN-A-CE-A prevents and cures gapes, 
indigestion, diarrhea and leg weakness. 
PAN-A-CE-A your chicks and then watch 
them feather! A Pan-a-ce-a chick will out- 
feather a non-Pan-a-ce-a chick every time.

THE CAFETERIA PLAN 
FOR FEEDING HOGS 
R. B. Rushing 
HAVE found from experience that 
a man to make money with hogs must 
like hogs and be willing to do any kind 
of work at any time of day or night, and 
he must stick to it. As far as breeds are 
concerned, there is little difference when 
it comes to making money. I have my 
choice, but others are just as good and 
might suit you better. I say, choose, the 
breed that suits you best, whether it is 
white or black or spotted—it doesn t 
make any difference. Select a good one 
and stay with it. Then he must be a 
man of good character if he is going into 
the pure bred business. I have found it 
easier to raise hogs for market than it is 
for the purebred trade. 
If I were raising hogs for market only, 
it would just be fun for me. Just raise 
alfalfa, or some other good legume and 
put their corn into the self-feeders, and 
have the water handy, and let them go 
to it. My experience is that the hog knows 
more about balancing his rations than 
most of the men who feed them. 
Start the’ Young Pigs Right 
In raising hogs for the market the 
proper thing is to raise good hogs and 
take care of them while they are young. 
Provide them with alfalfa, peas of some 
kind or clover and by the time they are 
three months old you can feed them 
through the self feeder, and they are. not 
much trouble to take care of. Sometimes 
one gets the cholera in his herd, but he 
had better lose them once in a while than 
give up the business. I had a man say to 
me one time when I lost almost my entire 
herd, “Why don’t you quit the business? 
I have, and you will go broke if you 
don’t.” I said I might, but I would be a 
fool to give up the very business that has 
put me on my feet. I will try and keep 
them from having the cholera again. 
That has been years ago, and I have never 
had a case of cholera in my herd since 
that time. I use slacked lime every few 
days—air slacked lime. I use it freely 
about the feeding lots and sleeping 
quarters. I disinfect every few days with 
a good disinfectant, and run the hogs 
through the dipping tank as often as I 
think is necessary. 
Cement Wallow an Asset 
I have found my cement wallow a good 
means -of keeping vermin off them. It is 
about fifteen feet square and a foot and 
a half deep, sloping at each end, so that 
the hogs can walk in and out. Put posts 
up and put shelter over it so they can go 
in there and lie during the heat of the day 
in summer. A hog will not perspire. .1 
let the pigs go into the water and I put in 
a good disinfectant, and a few gallons of 
crude oil, and they come out shining.. 
One of the principal things in raising 
hogs is to be a good feeder. I would rather 
sell an ordinary pig to a good feeder, than 
I would to sell a show pig to a poor feeder. 
In the feeding of hogs, things are chang¬ 
ing from what they used to be. It used 
to be a continual slop-pail business. I 
have in life hauled out hundreds of dollars’ 
worth of middlings and bran made up 
into slop, but I have now got to the place 
where the feeding is with dry feed, and it 
is working much better. The hogs can do 
their own balancing and mixing better 
than anyone can for them. V hen they 
want water they go to the waterer and 
get it, and when they want the different 
kinds of feed, they go to the self feeder 
and get it. Not all mixed up but each in 
a separate place. 
Self-Feeders—Labor-Savers 
I have entirely discarded the slop pail 
and the hogs go and get a bite of this and 
a bite of that and are not gorged on any 
one thing. They soon learn how. I have 
found that the cheapest way to husk 
what corn I intend the hogs to eat is to 
let the hogs husk it themselves as they 
desire. Com is fine for fattening hogs, but 
it makes little but white meat, and to 
make the red lean meat so much desired
